Changing Lives, One Pair at a Time

In just about any dresser drawer, one can find a pair of eyeglasses
that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change
another person’s life.

Lions Recycle for Sight

Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used
eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers
(LERCs). LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and
package the glasses. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to
people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest
impact.

Eyeglass Recycling – How You Can Help

If you have used eyeglasses you no longer need, you can donate them
now. Lions accept prescription and reading glasses, sunglasses and
plastic and metal frames. Children’s glasses are especially needed.
Here’s how you can help:
